The Lowdown
Alright folks, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Playa de las Americas over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, this is a pretty quiet stretch. We're looking at a long run of small, ordinary waves with very little to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance to get wet comes in on Saturday afternoon, August 1st. The swell is tiny, only 1.0ft from the SSW, but the period is a long 15 seconds, which gives it a bit of life. The wind is glassy, making it clean. It's not going to blow your mind, but you can get a few small ones. The combined swell energy is weak (83).
The next few days are a real grind. From Sunday the 2nd right through to the end of the first week, we're stuck with that same story: small waves, mostly 1.0ft to 2ft, often with cross or onshore winds. You'll get some clean windows, like Monday morning the 3rd with offshore ESE wind on a 1ft SSW swell, or Thursday afternoon the 6th with glassy conditions on a 1.0ft SSW swell, but it's all very ordinary.
The best of a weak bunch looks like Tuesday morning, August 11th and Wednesday afternoon, August 12th. On Tuesday the 11th, we see a 1ft WNW swell with offshore ESE wind, giving clean conditions. Wednesday the 12th bumps up to a 2ft WNW swell with cross-offshore SSE wind. The combined energy nudges up to 72, still weak, but it's the most we've seen. Even then, it's barely a ripple.
There's a longer period swell showing up on the very last day, Sunday the 16th of August. A 1.0ft SSW swell with a very long 21-second period, and glassy conditions in the morning. The combined energy is 91. It's a promising sign, but it's far out and the swell height is tiny. This one is a long shot.
So, to be straight with you, there's no standout session in this whole 16-day window. The best bet is to keep an eye on that Sunday 16th for a possible glassy morning, but don't plan your life around it. The waves are just too small and weak for any real quality.
This is Rusty, signing off.
